Pablo Tapas — Restaurant in Warsaw

As a Spanish person I have to say that is the only Spanish food restaurant that feels like eating at home. This was our experience:

The first thing we noticed at the first second was the smell of Spanish comfortable food: the spices and seasonings were spreading their fragrance in the air, making you travel to Spain. For me felt like home, for my Polish fiancee felt like holidays in Spain. We weren't at our table yet and we were already delighted. Good start.

For starters we asked for some ham croquetas and squid sticks. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Croquetas' inside, the beschamel was creamy, soft and silky, as it has to be, and the flavour revealed that they used good ham for making each bite unforgettable.

The squid sticks were another amazing surprise: Meaty, full of flavour and with the fair amount of breadcrumb: not needed more, not needed less, and the classic sides of two lemon slices and ali-oli sauce to elevate the flavour made them a smart choice.

And finally we go to the main dish we picked: The seafood paella. Top. The rice was absolutely perfect, including the socarrat (socarrat is a crust that creates at the bottom of the pan, sometimes people might think that is wrong and the paella is burnt and ruined but is totally the opposite, this crust, the socarrat, is the signature that a paella is well done). The seafood was excellent, with a high remark on the prawns, that were big and flavourful. I can say that this seafood paella was as tasting the sea, brilliant and excelent.

This wonderful food was served by a team of waiters that were welcoming, nice and professional, they know the product and have no problem in solving any question customers might have.

So as a conclusion, this restaurant is the smartest choice I saw in Warsaw to enjoy good quality and tasty Spanish food. No matter if you are a Spanish who miss the taste of good dishes you left behind, or if you want to discover the power and charm of Spanish cuisine, no matter if you come alone, on a date or on a team meal, coming to this restaurant will always be a good choice, I hope you enjoy it as...

Tapas5a on Grzybowska Street in Warsaw is a place with a unique atmosphere that nearly compensates for its shortcomings. Upon arrival, despite having made a reservation, we were disappointed to find that there was no table ready for us, signaling a lack of preparation on the part of the restaurant. The interior itself appears to be in dire need of renovation, yet it somehow retains a charming character that is hard to overlook.

The culinary experience, however, was a significant redeeming factor. The food was outstanding, deserving a perfect score of 10 out of 10. We indulged in quesadillas and the "Talary Pablo," both of which were exceptionally flavorful and well-presented. Unfortunately, the sangria did not meet our expectations; it was weak and overly diluted, detracting from the overall dining experience.

Despite these mixed impressions, I would recommend Tapas 5a primarily for the food. If you can overlook the initial missteps and the need for a fresher decor, the culinary delights on offer make it a...
